The New Patriots revealed an enhanced video board as part of Gilette Stadium’s renovations.

According to the team, they now boast the largest outdoor stadium video board in the country at 22,200 square feet. It’s almost half an acre and five times bigger than the old board.

“We wanted something big,” Kraft Sports + Entertainment CEO Jim Nolan said at Tuesday’s unveiling, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “Once you start designing it, the curved radius, and you start doing the math — we were right there to be the largest outdoor video board in North America. So, we said, ‘let’s make sure it is.'”

The Patriots will hope their upgraded video board emanates more positive highlights after going 8-9 last season. They hired offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien to help repair a unit that finished 26th in total yards.

Stadium renovations, which began in January 2022, also include a 22-story lighthouse, a beer hall, and a revamped Row of Honor. Nolan said the projects are on track to be ready in time for New England’s Sept. 10 home opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
